Seeds germinate best in cool conditions. Some >> plants may flower yellow, also attractive. VERY IMPORTANT: the tubers will >> form at a good distance from the main stem, only attached by a thin >> string-like root. It DOES form tubers, take care when digging it up for >> winter storage.

Nerine bowdenii Typ Oswald >> From Mr Oswald in the former East-Germany. The origin of this plant is >> obscure. Looks like ordinary N. bowdenii but much hardier.

The pods remain on the plant long after the >> leaves have died down. >> >> >> From Roy Herold: >> >> Roy says, "Most of the Rhodohypoxis are blooming size. The Calanthes will >> take another year >> to bloom.

Rhodohypoxis 'Harlequin' >> 24. Rhodohypoxis 'Matt's White' --I received this one from Matt Mattus as >> 'White', possibly due to a lost label. I'm sure it has a proper cultivar >> name (perhaps 'Helen'), but I haven't been able to figure it out for sure. >> 25. Calanthe 'Kozu Hybrids'--Brick Red >> 26. Calanthe 'Kozu Hybrids'--Pink >> >> Seeds: >> >> 27. Eucomis vandermerwei (OP, some might be hybrids with E. zambesiaca) >> 28.
